LWC's Malvina Farkle Day gives back to the community

By Venus Popplewell
LWC Public Relations

When Lindsey Wilson College freshman Trinity Deaton was awakened by a loud knock on her door at 7 a.m., Wednesday morning, she was well aware of what was about to happen.

"I have two sisters who attended LWC," said Deaton, a psychology student from Breckinridge County, Kentucky. "So I already knew about Malvina Farkle Day, but I did not know exactly what it entailed."

Deaton was one of more than 800 LWC students, faculty and staff who participated in the campus-wide day of service known as Malvina Farkle Day. Classes are dismissed for the day each year while students spend the morning working on community service projects. The afternoon includes a picnic on the campus quadrangle, games and giveaways.

Mike Watson from the Adair County Genealogy and History Research Center says he looks forward to the students stopping by each year.

Carol Perkins: Operation Christmas Child

Previous Column: The Case of the Missing Keys Part II

By Carol Perkins

Since I retired, I have often felt like a slug. Retirement does that to people who run in high gear instead of neutral. Then when I least expected it, a purpose knocked on my door.

When my minister asked if I would coordinate our annual Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Mission, which is part of Samaritan's Purse, I said yes. Although I had dutifully filled my shoeboxes each year, I didn't think about the actual mission. That was about to change.
